Ernest Miller

Ernest "The Cat" Miller is a former professional wrestler, martial artist, and actor. He attended Gordon High School in Decatur, Georgia, and played football as a linebacker. He then went to Savannah State University, where he studied electrical engineering and was an All-American linebacker on the football team. Miller's career in professional wrestling began after World Championship Wrestling (WCW) executive Eric Bischoff, whose son he was teaching karate, asked him to become a wrestler. A three-time World Tournament Karate Champion, he was also the ISKA Kick-Boxing Champion. He joined WCW in 1997 and, after a period of struggling to connect with fans, developed a successful, charismatic persona as "The Cat," inspired by his idol, James Brown. This included wearing red shoes and performing dance moves in the ring. After WCW, Miller had a brief stint with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), where he served as an announcer.
